Hi Vic,
I've just started using DSL from GTE about a month ago and it's great!
I've got their cheapest package (768k / 128k) with dynamic ip - the only
problem I had was getting my Netgear RT311 dsl router working. That was
simple as realizing that I needed to use the cross-over cable from the
dsl modem to the router. Anyway, I've talked to quite a few people that
haven't had as easy a time; mostly because of not being aware of what
their provider was giving them. You should probably find out ahead of
time if they're going to use PPPoE, for example. I'm using the dsl
router to get my dynamic address and send to a small 4 port hub where I
have a couple computers connected with private addresses (192.168.x.x)
and all the OS's recognize everything without a hitch (win98, win2k and
linux).

Hi I am planning to migrate from cablemodem to ADSL
for a while to see if its going to be what I want.
Is the setup basically the same?
I do know that there will be a couple of differences,
like the IP is going to be static so I will have to
insert the IP address and the sub net mask I think
instead of asking for dhcp stuff.
Is that all I need to know?
